Parlez-vous anglais???

I can no longer write in Icelandic on an english keyboard. Nothing is more annoying than "ae".

My agenda today is politics.

We are all little people who can't make a difference in the world, but we can make ourself feel better about trying. Democracy has proven itself to be ineffective due to human nature, communism would work if we found a man thinking beyond his people and himself...but communism has been slandered a dirty word along with dictatorship due to bad apples leading the role.
Protesting and fighting for what we believe in is something we should all do, but I am one of those who don't, because I don't believe that I can make a difference. Some people are shocked that I don't vote, talking about that my vote is important, well I go to the polls and turn it in blank. I don't think that a different president or senator can make my life better. They all bring something to the table and with that is just as much baggage. The politicians get far because they have pulled strings for favors and when they finally get there.....they owe someone. Thats why oil companies, McDonalds, Coke, Nike, and on and on and on and on, put their money in campaigns, so that the senator will treat them right when it's necessary. That is why they can't keep their promises and frankly.....they've been elected and won't care until the next election, when all is forgotten.

I know this isn't news for anyone, but it bothers me and I have to vent it out sometimes.

It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall listening in to all that goes on that they don't tell us...because they think it is better to not tell us. Welllllllll maybe it is, what do I know-----Right???

Anyway.....Things here are fine I guess. I need to get back out to the job market and do my 9-5 shifts to come home and be tired and complain about my miserable life, thinking how great it would be if I could buy this and that. So I hope I never achieve that........my life wouldn't feel as good if I can't complain. I can only be happy in mediocre and trying to reach somewhere.

Maybe I will keep writing in english==who knows.......
Until then,
Au revoir
The Atheist
